Koo had a very fruitful weekend with adoptions! We rejoice with his success in getting good homes for his rescued animals. Any animal taken off the street into a loving home is always welcomed news.
We wish to thank Koo also for donating his adoption fees back to our Fund to help other animals. One good turn deserves another and goodwill makes the world go round!
In the past, we’ve had rescuers asking us if it is “necessary” to donate their adoption fees back to our Fund after we have subsidised the neutering, vaccination/deworming and other treatment for their rescues. Our reply is: It is not necessary, just do whatever you feel is right by your heart.

Subject: Re: Nuar & Borg for adoption
To: Chan Kah Yein <chankahyein@gmail.com>Hi Dr Chan,I had a busy weekend and I’ve some great news to share.On Saturday, 28 September 2013, I was invited to my neighbourhood school health awareness carnival to open a booth on adoption and TNRM so I brought AnimalCare’s books, ‘Here for a Reason’ and Nuar the kitten (reference: http://animalcare.my/2013/09/24/nuar-borg-cats-for- adoption-koo-swee-pors/ ) for adoption. The books were all taken up in no time (1school_carnival.jpg) and all the kids wanted to hold, stroke and cuddle Nuar (2Nuar.jpg). Although Nuar didn’t get adopted, it was heartening to see that many children still care and love animals as they could grow up to become future animal rescuers/fosterers. On the morning of the following Sunday, 29 September 2013, I travelled to Shah Alam to meet the adopter of Borg (reference: http://animalcare.my/2013/09/24/nuar-borg-cats-for- adoption-koo-swee-pors/ ). He’s 17 but he has had a cat since he was 12 and it recently passed away from old age. He doesn’t have any other cat and he will keep Borg inside the house. I met with his dad too and the adoption was confirmed (3BorgAdopted.jpg)! The adoption fee has been donated to AnimalCare (4BorgAdoptionFee.jpg). On the following afternoon, I was at the MDDB adoption drive and Nuar the kitten was adopted together with a dog by a family on the condition that both could get along with each other. Of course, Nuar has always mixed with my own dogs so that was certainly not an issue. The dog was ok with Nuar too. Although the combined adoption fee was donated to MDDB, I will also donate Nuar’s adoption fee out of my own pocket to AnimalCare (5NuarAdopted.jpg). By the way, one American Bully dog who was dumped in my neighbourhood and fostered by me (mentioned at http://animalcare.my/2013/09/19/thank-you-very-much-koo/ ), was also adopted! 
It is amazing that both Borg and Nuar were adopted on the same day especially since they were also caught/rescued separately on the same day (reference: http://animalcare.my/2013/07/09/medical-subsidies-and- neutering-sponsorship-for- tnrm-cats-koo-swee-pors/ ) on 23 June 2013. It took me slightly more than 3 difficult months of fostering and rehabilitation before their eventual adoption. Thank you again for AnimalCare’s subsidies for Borg and Nuar which I will donate back in time to help other furkids in need.Best regards,Koo
And thank YOU, Koo, for all that you do!

Yay! Rejoice, rejoice.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the black cats, so I’m delighted to see that Nuar’s found a home. Bless you, Koo, for rescuing and rehabilitating him! I seem to recall reading that there were 2 American bullies rescued in your area, one with a severe head wound. I assume it was Lucky who was adopted this weekend — any word on the wounded dog? Is he or she recovering?
Kudos on all your fine work!
Nuar is a very affectionate kitten but I was getting worried that he would ever get adopted more due to his Oriental Shorthair look which some may say is ugly. That’s why I brought him to adoption drives so that potential adopters could interact with him rather than rely on written descriptions which may not be believable either.
Two dumped American Bully dogs were rescued and it was Lucky who was adopted. Both are females and we decided to spay them to avoid breeders taking them (yes, they tried) instead of waiting for 3 months for them to recover from their Demodex skin problem. Grateful the remaining Bully has a much worse Demodex skin problem so it will take about two months to recover. Fortunately, her maggot-infested head wound has completely recovered. One good news is that she has recovered psychologically because she’s very friendly, active and bubbly compared to the first time I saw her when she seemed to have given up on life. Hopefully, we’ll find a good adopter for her too.
I’m very happy to update that Grateful the remaining dog has been adopted today!
